Everything has to be trucked in from big grocery stores in other parts of the state.

state.We have absolutely no way to work with local farmers because we don't have any [laughs] agricultural land here.

And a lot of the farmers that live surrounding Summit County are small farmers.

They're not these big agricultural producers or co-ops.

And so the volume of food that we need, they're not able to meet that need.

The trucks must come through Vail Pass, which frequently has been closed due to landslides, fires, and snow.

And so when you don't receive your biggest vendor order, but you already have 600 orders placed for the week that's reliant on that delivery to get to you, there's a lot of scrambling that has to be done.

Many times we would do the best as we could to load up our vans and go to the local grocery stores and purchase food that way, which we all know is not cost-effective, and it takes a lot of manpower to get that much food and get it back to the market, broken down, ready to be boxed up and distributed.
